Krell HEAT
The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design applica-
tion incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel
home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an integrated
home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell preamp/
processor and matching amplifiers that reproduce two channel and
multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the
audience in the middle of a lifelike environment.
HDMI™
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a digital connection
standard designed to provide the highest possible uncompressed
video and audio quality over a single cable and connector.
Composite Video
An encoded video signal that transmits luminance (Y) and color (C)
information on one wire.
S-Video
Video signal that separately transmits the luminance (Y) and color (C)
components of the video signal using one wire.
Component Video
A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red
minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals.
Component video signals may be interlaced or progressive.
Progressive signals build screen content in one pass rather than the
two passes required for standard (interlaced) video. Progressive
technology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality pic-
tures. Both your source and video monitor must be equipped with
progressive video technology to realize this advantage.
YPbPr
One way of designating color difference signals, in which:
Y = the luminance signal
Pb = blue minus luminance (B-Y) signal
Pr = red minus luminance (R-Y) signal
